I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
The mindless online mob justice and knee-jerk institutional reactions this shooting will generate are going to be spectacular for drama. Look forward to:
*Calls for total gun bans.
*Insane demands for anti-1st Amendment legislation.
*Overreaction to leftist hysteria by center-right or far-right activists.
*Coordinated deplatforming by social media giants as a way to virtue signal.
*Psychopathic 4chan trolls emboldened
*Blue Checkmark spergouts that go far beyond the acceptable limits of hysteria
*The legislation of fucking memes.
The madmemer picked the PERFECT time to do this shit.

Exactly what the shooter wanted:
Accelerating political polarization.

I don't think this one's going to happen, everything else is 100% correct
I just wonder which planned political campaigns are going to get hauled out of the storage and pushed now

Furrys, and
Nazisgamers convinced me that the internet was a mistake.I want to go back to the good ole days where you got to bully the village idiot before they found their online support group for fucked up ideas.
Bring back bullying. Make mayo losers afraid again!
